I think this recipe is awesome. Although if it doesn't hurt, I would appreciate it if there were measurements for the amounts of certain things (like cheese and butter) so that it may make it perfect somewhat. Other than that, it's an phenomenal recipe!
Gavin
This isn’t meant to sound rude, but there are already measurements! Check under ingredients!
Shan
1/2 teaspoon of butter? How exactly does one measure that? Doesn't seem like nearly enough. Having said that I made it with about1.5 Tablespoons and 1/2cup of cheese. It was a hit
